This vibrantly coloured $20 fine silver coin features several of our most beloved Looney Tunes characters in a design that is reminiscent of the end credits of the famously popular cartoons. Bugs Bunny stands in the centre with his arms outstretched in a true entertainer's pose, while below him sits the Tasmanian Devil, whose tongue hangs out of his mouth as he flashes his goofy grin. Peering over Bugs' right shoulder is the amorous skunk, Pepé Le Pew, accompanied by Pussyfoot. Appearing over Bugs' left shoulder are Daffy Duck and Sylvester, both bearing wide smiles. Last but not least is Tweety, whose diminutive size allows him to sit on Bugs' head as he extends his arms out as well. In keeping with the playful nature of Looney Tunes, look closely at the coin to find a hidden surprise design element!
The special packaging for this coin also adds to the fun. In true Looney Tunes style, the coin comes presented in a box that mimics the ACME crate, which was a fixture in Looney Tunes shorts whenever a character ordered something that would be shipped to them.
